Lexi and Brandon watching a movie in the tent waiting out the rain storm- seems wrong doesn't it?
I'm not sure what's so fascinating about poking sticks in a camp fire- but the kids love it.
Enjoying some good ole' fashion Hobo dinner- a camping classic :)
And of course- some fishing :) We didn't catch any fish but at least we got some cute pictures :)
And who is this, might you ask? Our new guard dog. . . he will be introduced in another post. Eric brought him home as a "surprise". . . . *sigh*
Things to remember next time we go camping:
1.lighter fluid- there is nothing worse than not being able to get a fire started because everything is water logged
2.warmer sleeping bags- I thought we might freeze to death. We ended up unzipping all the sleeping bags and making one big bed- Eric was in the middle to keep us all warm :)
3. A coat for Lexi- what was I thinking? Every one else had something warm but her. . . she ended up wearing one of Brandon's long sleeve shirts under her t-shirt.
4. An air mattress- I'm getting to old to sleep on the hard ground :)
5. Mugs- hot cocoa and nothing to drink it out of? we ended up making it in a water bottle- the kids thought it was pretty cool :)
6. Leave the puppy home- he was cold, whiney and into everything :)

Wow! Looks like fun. (Except I hate camping. lol) Anyway, I bet the kids will be talking about it for weeks.
sounds like quite the adventure! we have had a campout or 2 like that. but all in all good times and great memories :)
I'm so dissapointed in you Merilee.........movies and camping???!!!!
You got a new puppy? Great pictures! I also am a firm believer in a pad/mattress to sleep on.
